i want terminal-toys to open upon startup and i made this trying to make it happen:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/azure/.cargo/bin terminal-toys pipes3d

probably messy script aside, it works fine when i run it as an executable but when i put it through autostart it always fails. this is probably piss easy but im new so im struggling lol

So this may not be an ideal solution or a solution at all, as I have a somewhat particular setup, but here we go.

For context, I'm running a regular desktop with an RX 9060 XT on Linux that I use for gaming, and a ThinkCentre M75q with a Ryzen 5650GE on Windows 11 that I use for work. Both are connected to a KVM switch, and the switch is connected to a Dell monitor with FreeSync support. I've never had any issues with VRR or FreeSync when I was using Windows on both machines, but since I bought an AMD GPU and moved to Linux, my experience has been mixed. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, oh boy, it's utterly unusable, with my screen blinking, flickering, going black, and what not.

At first I thought it was my GPU, as things got a lot worse after a recent power outage where the lights were blinking like crazy for a few hours.

Trying to find what was going on, I tried removing the KVM, changing cables, and installing different distros. I tried Bazzite, Fedora, and regular Arch, all tested with GNOME and Plasma, but there was no difference. The screen started flickering every time something went fullscreen, games, videos, YouTube, and so on.

But I decided to try one last thing. I connected everything back to the KVM, as it was before, and booted my work computer with Windows 11. I went into the Adrenalin driver and toggled VRR there. Then I switched the KVM back to my gaming computer and, lo and behold, no more flickering. I tested this with both GNOME and Plasma, all working without any black screens. Even movies lower my monitor refresh rate correctly, and even my mouse starts moving at whatever the movie's FPS is.

My guess is that there's some handshake between my monitor and GPU that only Adrenalin is able to handle, and it can get borked after a power outage or other random power related events.

TL;DR

1. Boot into Windows
2. Toggle VRR/FreeSync off / on inside Adrenalin
3. Boot back into Linux
4. VRR works (!?!?)

I'm trying to figure out if I should install emudeck, each emulator individually through kde discover, download each emulator from their official website, or something else - on my desktop/laptops that have fedora 43 kde.

Bem pessoal, eu atualizei o meu Pop os 22 para a recente nova versão Pop os 24 com o cosmic coisa que eu gostaria de ter feito faz tempo.

Porem... nos sistemas que eu já utilizei nunca tive esse problema, o meu controle genérico não funciona na steam com o Joystick virtual la que eu não sei nome :P

A versão que eu instalei foi a "nativa" o snap mas testando o flatpak ele diz que steam divices não esta instalado mas eu instalei isso e não resolvei por favor me ajudem.

desde já muito obrigado :D

If so, what are you using to control the display, and what distro are you on? I'd especially like to hear from those of you on Arch or Arch based systems.

Hi everyone,

I’m a computer science student, and honestly, working on Unix/Linux just feels way better for studying and development. I really enjoy the environment, the tools, and the overall workflow compared to Windows.

That said, I also like gaming (mostly Tekken, League, and CS2), and I’m not very familiar with the current gaming platforms or ecosystems on Linux/Unix.

I don’t really mind tweaking things or troubleshooting when needed, but at the same time I’m a bit lazy and don’t want to constantly fight my system just to launch a game.

So my question is: is it actually viable to use Unix/Linux as a daily OS in my situation?
Would I be sacrificing too much on the gaming side, or is it reasonably smooth nowadays?

Any feedback or personal experiences would be appreciated

So I have a ROG Z13 and use it as my main gaming PC, how hard is it to get everything working, or would you guys recommend settling for debloated windows? Or should I look into Bazzite?

As I said, when I add mods games version changes.
Like: v1.17.3.0.3a95 (f303) -> v1.17.3.0.3a95 (3267)
This doesn't happens at my friends on windows. Which makes me unable to play modded multiplayer. I also have cracked DLCs (CreamAPI) which they have too. I have the game by steam.
How can I fix this?

Hi Linux gamer's,

Im in the market for a good pair or earbuds that offer good sound and microphone on EndeavorOS.

I was looking on Amazon and found these and wondered if anyone had any experience with these or if there are others that are better/more compatible.

SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for Xbox/PC/PS5/Switch/Mobile — Quick-Switch 2.4GHz+Bluetooth 5.3

I have a pair of Stealseries headphones with the remove 2.4 GHz connection and I really like this over Bluetooth.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I’m considering getting a small, ~4 inch screen to use as a system monitor, something that gives me some info on temps, power consumption, etc.

I’m looking for a program that will give me a nice looking, customizable system monitor screen. I’m planning on installing it into my pc case so it would essentially be like those lcd screens that are on the aio pumps in some pcs. is there a software that’s good for this?

I’m using Nobara (Fedora 43) and using KDE Plasma 6 as my DE if that helps

I am having this bug nearly every session. There were just two session I had no problem, but I can't say that I did something different there.
I am very new to linux, so I am not sure about all the dependencies, but I am a former IT guy so here are some facts:

-Cachyos: 6.17.9-2 64bit
-KDE Plasma: 6.5.3
-CPU: AMD 3900X (even if it looks like a graphics thing)
-GPU: 4070 Ti SUPER (580.105.08 driver)
-Proton: 10.0
-Wine: 10.20

Let me know if there is more info needed.

Thx!

I have experience with steam OS and Endevour was wondering what distros were good for gaming other than bazzite.

This has been giving me a major headache for two hours, with no working solution. So, I have been playing Yakuza 0 (GOG version as non-Steam game) with my Asus TUF FX504 (GTX1060M + Intel UHD 630) on Bazzite. It has been working absolutely fine, until today. I have not done any system updates in between, nor have I touched anything else either. It just refuses to launch with the error mentioned on the title.

I have tried __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command% and DRI_PRIME=1 %command% to no avail.

I also tried launching it through Lutris, which still works. However, I can't get Steam Input to work that way, which I need. Steam Input doesn't work even if I add a Steam shortcut from the Lutris game.

Any help is appreciated.

For the longest time I could not get streetfighter six to work properly on my A750 and it seemed like there weren’t any good sources of fixes. The key problems were: hard lockups when throw techs occurred, atrocious network performance. Posting it here for whoever else might be searching for the same issues:

Using Fedora 43

Stayed on i915 driver (Xe had awful graphics corruption, huge swathes of the screen/characters simply didn’t render)

Updated to latest Mesa here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/xxmitsu/mesa-git/ (probably unnecessary?)

Set “effects level” to lowest - this made throw breaks stop hard locking my system. All other settings seem fine at high/whatever.

Ran “sudo sysctl kernel.split_lock_mitigate=0” from here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6817 (fixed awful network performance) (could probably use game mode to fix this too?)

Now keeps mostly 60fps with most settings at high/highest and hasn’t crashed or hard locked again.

Hi so I've been using nobara for a while now and decided to test skyrim, for some reason the game doesn't feel smooth, it feels like 30 fps. I've tried Proton 8,9,10 and ge and i don't see any difference. I have the rtx 4060 and ryzen 5 5600, games like cyberpunk, fallout 4 and witcher 3 run perfectly fine. Any suggestions on what can i do?
